Built to Last a Lifetime

American Cooking got it's start over 15 years ago when our founder George Sandoval found himself significantly disappointed with a fairly expensive grill purchase. While this brand name grill promised a “top-of-the-line” experience it wound up being a “bottom-of-the-barrel” product that needed repair and replacement parts within a year of being brand new. George, having owned and operated Precision Sheet Metal manufacturing companies since 1974, he decided to use his experience to build something better.

Our goal is simple: Ultimately provide a better grilling experience for consumers at Factory Direct Pricing; Using the best materials on the planet, each grill is meticulously handcrafted in the United States of America.

What Makes Us Different

Materials

We are the only manufacturer on the market extensively using 316L surgical stainless steel. Outdoor grills are especially vulnerable to rust and corrosion caused by weather and changing climates. This is why all of our burners, cooking grids & flavor grates are manufactured using 316L surgical stainless steel. This low carbon stainless / high molybdenum steel is extremely resistant to rust and corrosion, and keeps our grills looking and working like new even in the harshest of beachside climates.

Manufacturing

Details matter. Our experienced designers have engineered our burners to resist clogging from sauces or food dripping that is all too common with many of our competitors. Each of our grills are finished, completely welded on all corners and ground smooth. Finally every single one of our grills is handcrafted and inspected prior to shipping.

Commitment to our Customers

We provide highly personalized service to each of our customers. Whether you are shopping for a standalone or need help designing the custom, outdoor kitchen of your dreams we are only a phone call away. Best of all our products are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty.

“We've been using our American Cooking Equipment grill at least 4 times a week for the last 9 years ( in the Pacific Northwest...and on the water!) and it's still as good as new!”

Coco, Pacific Northwest

“The materials and workmanship are amazing. It gets as hot as you want it and provides the control needed to cook everything just right. I can't recommend the grill enough. (And it's the envy of our friends.)”

Todd, Pacific Northwest

“Whether it's hot dogs and hamburgers, steaks and chops, fish and lobsters, or multiple veggies, our grill is going strong all day long. Coast to coast, American Cooking Equipment is the BEST! When I wheel it out of the barn next summer I know it will look brand new. And, YES!!!, your shipping pallet makes a wonderful 'American Flag'.”

Bart, Maine

“I've been cooking on American Cooking grills for 10 years now... this one is at our 2nd home. I’ve owned other brand name grills in the past. None of them compare to American Cooking Equipment! No cold spots, very hot --- I can’t say enough good things about it! A quality manufactured product that has really held up over years of heavy use. We love it!”

John G, Rolling Hills, CA

“My American Cooking Equipment grill looks and works like new, and I've owned it for nearly 9 years. Living next to ocean, you come to expect rust and deterioration in outdoor fixtures over time, but this grill has been bulletproof, and I don't even keep it covered. The materials used are absolutely top notch and the quality of workmanship is obvious. I've been very happy with my investment, it looks great and cooks great.”

Jot H, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

“Simply the best BBQ I've ever owned, I would give it a 10/10 for performance, looks and reliability.”

Pat

“I shopped for 4 months and I couldn't find anything that comes close to your quality for the price. It's all about value. I build islands for people and when they ask me which grill to buy I say "there's only 1" American Cooking Equipment!”

Patrick, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

“The American Cooking Barbecue is hands down The Mercedes of Barbecues!!!I have had their barbecue for over 10 years and cook on it almost daily. The housing, cooking grate and six burners are made of high grade premium stainless steel which means it won't rust or rot and most importantly, it holds and distributes heat evenly!! Whether you grill chicken, fish, steak, veggies or hamburgers and hot dogs the food cooks evenly and just as efficiently as it did the first year I owned it! It may seem like a lot of money to spend on a BBQ but it will be money well spent and will likely be the last BBQ you ever buy (unless of course you want a pizza oven or bigger BBQ!!) I give this BBQ six out of five stars!!!”
